Description
<i>Permission Pilot</i> is a new kind of app to help you review apps and their permissions.
With each Android update permissions are getting more complex.
Android showing permissions in various different locations, doesn't make it easier to review them:
* App Info page
* Special Access
* Permissions Manager
* and more...
<i>Permission Pilot</i> lists all permissions in a single location, giving you a bird's eye view of app permissions.
Two perspectives are available: You can either view all permissions an app requests, or view all apps that request a permission.
<b>Apps tab</b>
All installed apps, including system apps and work profile apps.
Clicking on any app will list all permissions that the app has requested, including those that show up under Permissions Manager and Special Access, along with their status.
This will also include internet permissions, SharedUserID status!
<b>Permissions tab</b>
All permissions that exist on your device, including those that show up under Permissions Manager and Special Access.
Permissions are pre-grouped for easier navigation, e.g. Contacts, Microphone, Camera, etc.
Clicking on a permission shows all the apps that request access to that permission.
Apps and permissions can be searched using free-text, sorted and filtered by different criteria.
<b>Overview</b>
A summary dashboard showing app counts by category — privacy, security, install source, and more. Each category row navigates directly to a filtered app list.
<b>Permission Watcher</b>
Get notified when an app update adds new permissions or changes existing ones. Permission Watcher checks your apps after each update and creates a report if anything changed.
<b>Data Export</b>
Export app or permission data in Markdown, CSV, or JSON.
<b>Manifest Viewer</b>
Browse raw app manifests with searchable, categorized sections. See which apps can discover other installed apps.
